High possession and intelligent football. Maintaining possession and expending energy efficiently is going to be huge with the capped rotations. The W/L column may not change straight away but it'll be better in the long run.

Skills, composure and trust in your team mates have to be established before we can successfully execute any gameplan. Those aspects just disintegrated last season and must be rebuilt.

Yup, and he was taking his frustrations out on the club. We've come a long long way already since the grumpy turd has gone. Thank fork for that.

Footy is not a complicated game.
First up, get your hands on the ball, then use it (quickly) and smartly!

True flyboy.
Like the old Allan Jeans game plan which still works today.
There are only 3 options. . . . . 1, we've got the ball. 2, they've got the ball. 3, the ball is in limbo.
We just have to cut options 2 & 3.

Simple in theory, but not so simple in practice.

It's simple in practice if you don't coach the hell on of the players and trust them to execute the things they do well.
MM didn't trust players, he wanted 22 robots who do his beck and call. But when opposition teams un-picked his game plan he would stand on the boundary and blame the robots. It seemed he blamed players for not being smart enough to ignore his plans, but if they did they got dropped. It was never the game plan's fault, the players were put in no win scenarios.
Apparently / allegedly the same thing was happening at Collingwood before MM got the kibosh, it's one of the alleged reasons why Eddie Everywhere came to the conclusion MMs time was up!
IMHO, there are too many coaches with "A Plan", and not enough coaches who actually develop the player's skills and maximise their output! FFS, MM seemingly had Judd tagging in one game, it's like asking Federer to be ball boy!
They are old fashioned ways, and time has past those ideas by, like when Pagan put Fev at fullback!
I'll be very disappointed if Bolton starts playing Cripps in the back pocket because he's having a bad day!

My point was that to get the required level of synchronicity between 18 players, for most of the game, plus taking into account rotations, injuries, opposition pressure etc. is very difficult to do. All AFL teams train long and hard, practicing their skills and everything else, but to get things looking as smooth as the Hawks do, is a real feat.

Just kicking it in their general direction would be nice, but having a leading forward would be even nicer! :o
A forward who has more than a isolated 2nd effort, I don't want to see Jones doing the "1, 2 Buckle My Shoe" sh1te.
I want repeat lead after repeat lead in the knowledge that if nothing else the last person standing wins the ball! Our club should sit Jones down, pry open his eyelids with toothpicks and press repeat play on the Jack Riewoldt highlight package until he gets the message!
